| One school of thought says that socially responsible investing is counterproductive because it lowers your returns. If you want to change the world: Invest profitably make the highest returns possible, and then plow your gains into the causes you support. I’m not unsympathetic to that line of reasoning. While there are a few industries I just can’t touch, my job is to help you, my readers, make money. So I can only justify socially responsible investing if it adds to the bottom line. As a trader, I try to keep my emotions in check and stick to the numbers. And for the most part, I keep politics out of my trading. As an example: When I write about the amazing opportunities I see in renewable energy, it’s because I expect we can make a boatload of money in the trade. Don’t get me wrong: I love the idea that the companies we buy provide cleaner air and reduce carbon emissions. I want to leave my son a better world than the one I grew up in, just as my parents wanted the same for me. But altruism only gets you so far. Well, there’s good news on that front. It turns out that “good” companies are often good stocks. Let’s do even better.

Chart of the Day Interest rates are rising. We all know that. Analysts and traders are speculating about how high rates can go. While developing my forecast, I noticed something interesting (and ominous) on the chart below. This chart shows the rate on 10-year Treasury notes. The high was 15% in September 1981. Since then, the trend has generally been down. Of course, no trend moves in one direction. There are short, countertrend moves, and these rallies in the 40-year downtrend are associated with dramatic events. The most recent break is a bad sign. Here’s why.
